I&#39;m sorry to hear you were diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes. My DSO was diagnosed also last February at which time I had stopped posting to my blog. The blog had resulted in my gaining weight, too, despite being a Weight Watcher, so I&#39;ve resumed on a much smaller scale and with greater attention to healthful eating. I&#39;ll be looking forward to your coming recipes and thanks in advance for posting the NI. I&#39;m happy to hear that your son is fine and that this was a wake up call to him. Best wishes to you and your family.ARLENEhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06077411606585700138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4226469055147549062.post-61938970237794974022010-12-12T06:08:41.254-08:002010-12-12T06:08:41.254-08:00Chicken and dumplings is one of my family&#39;s fa...Chicken and dumplings is one of my family&#39;s favorite meals and my sister traditionally served it for Christmas Eve dinner.

Sorry to hear that you have diabetes, but your attitude about it sounds wonderful. I wish you the very best luck. I know you&#39;ll do great. I also wanted to tell you that I am a big fan of Ellie Krieger&#39;s recipes, as well as Cooking Light&#39;s recipes. I have found some great recipes with both. Take care of you and your family. <br /><br />The chicken and dumplings look absolutely fantastic. I like the use of the chicken fat (that&#39;s something that Michael Symon does as well). Bet it adds lots of flavor to the otherwise bland dumpling.Kimhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08731435798319897025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4226469055147549062.post-39698045735601178372010-12-11T06:21:30.073-08:002010-12-11T06:21:30.073-08:00God Bless You, Debby :-)God Bless You, Debby :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4226469055147549062.post-49518295473782942242010-12-11T05:06:50.843-08:002010-12-11T05:06:50.843-08:00What a month!
